Global offshore wind leader Ørsted today (17) inaugurated the MW-size energy storage pilot system located on the Baoshan campus of National Changhua University of Education (NCUE). The facility will enable a significant amount of research to improve grid efficiency and stability, making important contributions to establish a green energy network in Taiwan.
“Nowadays, the way we generate electricity is changing. With technology innovation, we have added more low carbon power supply sources such as from offshore wind to the grid. These changes mean that the way we balance and operate the grid needs to be more agile and flexible. The development of energy storage system in the future will help enhance grid operations as well as accelerate the integration of renewable energy supply and demand to further realize Taiwan’s target of 20% renewables in its energy mix.”
Christy Wang, General Manager of Ørsted in Taiwan, says “Ørsted is going all out in supporting Taiwan’s energy transition. We began promoting academic-industry collaboration as early as during the grid allocation period for the Greater Changhua offshore wind projects and actively helped the academic communities and industries in Taiwan take the first step in energy storage study.”
“The inauguration of the MW-size energy storage pilot system demonstrated that Ørsted is not only building the offshore wind farms in Taiwan to provide clean energy but also made extra investment in the energy storage pilot system to fulfil our commitment to transferring technology and cultivating local talents in the green energy field to help set Taiwan at the forefront of the green energy industry together with Ørsted.”
Wang noted that Ørsted began the pilot project in Q4 2017 and has since then worked closely with NCUE on its delivery. Together with the NCUE Energy Research Center, which Ørsted sponsored to set up in 2018, the energy storage pilot system will provide unique resources to enable participating academic, industrial and local communities to conduct research and gather extensive data and insights. The data will be leveraged for grid enhancement in Taiwan and enable participating parties to seize energy storage business opportunities in the future.
Kuo Yen-kuang, principle of NCUE, says: “We really appreciate Ørsted for the great support for technology sharing, knowledge transfer and sponsorship to set up this energy storage pilot system and the Ørsted–NCUE Smart EnergyCentre. The project significantly will improve our school’s energy efficiency and enable more than 20 extended studies spanning from smart grid, micro-grid technologies, power electronics to strategic management of energy storage system.”
Moreover, Kuo said the Baoshan campus will become an Internet of Things (IoT) smart-grid demonstration zone, using the energy pilot storage system to regulate power usage on campus, while sensors will be installed on major electronic equipment to collect data for further analysis. The results of these studies will be used to develop energy usage prediction models to optimise power efficiency on the campus and establish NCUE into a green energy research hub.

Orsted Taiwan Ltd () yesterday unveiled its first megawatt-size energy storage pilot system in Taiwan, located on the Baoshan () campus of National Changhua University of Education.
The storage system, fully funded by the wind energy developer and built by local power management solutions provider Delta Electronics Co (), cost more than NT$80 million (US$2.7 million), Orsted Taiwan said.
Connected to the national grid run by Taiwan Power Co (), the storage system would allow the university to better manage and regulate power usage, Orsted Taiwan said, adding that sensors installed on major electrical equipment would help researchers collect data for analysis.
"This project will improve our school''s energy efficiency significantly and enable more than 20 extended studies spanning from smart grids, micro-grid technologies, power electronics to strategic management of energy storage systems," university principal Kuo Yen-kuang () told a news conference on the Baoshan campus.
Kuo said that he wanted the school to be transformed into a "green energy" research hub that fosters talent, adding that the Baoshan campus would serve as an Internet of Things smart grid demonstration zone.
Orsted Taiwan said it is to sponsor a full-time research assistant at the college of engineering to help with research, as well as studies conducted by the university''s professors and students.
The firm said that the construction of onshore substations, as well as an onshore transmission system for its southeast and southwest wind farms off Changhua County, is underway.
Working closely with engineering, procurement and construction company Star Energy Corp (), a subsidiary of Taiwan Cogeneration Corp (), the project is on target and scheduled to be completed by the end of next year, Orsted Taiwan said.
